Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen!
So what I have here is a 1987 BMW 325is that's going to be LS swapped.
I've only seen a few people do this kind of build, and it's been something I've been thinking about for a while
BACK STORY:
I bought this car when I was 16, from my dad's friend. Many things wrong, and the car wasn't really taken care of.
Since I've had it, I made a lot of improvements, such as fix the ebrake, replaced bumper trims, installed missing
body pieces, etc etc...
It has the stock M20 with ebay headers, and Ireland engineering axleback exhaust. The odo broke at 214k when I bought the car.
I'm guessing it's around 300k now?
Years ago after driving with my dad, he kinda pressured me into LS swapping the car, and well....it looks like I gave in lol
ON TO THE PICTURES!
Picture when I first bought the car. Now onto a little more recent pics
These pictures range from 1.5-2 years ago, before I joined the navy and actually saw the car everyday.
Here are the most recent pictures that I have, taken on Christmas, 2016.
Things that have been done to the car so far:
Ebay headers
Ireland engineering axleback
DIY cold (hot) air intake
Shadowline diving board bumpers
DTM Fiberwerkz rear valance
Foglight delete
Zender skirts
XXR 530 16x8 (don't even know the offset anymore)
Drilled rotors
Painted calipers
Vogtland springs
KYB struts
Suede steering wheel (forgot brand, not ebay!)
Short shift kit
Cipher seats (not for long!)
Takata harnesses for the driver
There are probably more things that I'm forgetting.
It is a fun car, in my opinion I think it looks good. But it's getting a whole new makeover, looks and power wise.
NOW HERE ARE THE GOODIES THAT YOU'VE CLICKED ON THIS THREAD FOR:
Pulled from an 03 Silverado. Unknown miles, it's surprisingly clean inside the engine. Comes with wiring harness as well
Pulled from an 04 CTS-V. 85k miles, paid $1300 for it
The replacement for those cipher seats lol
SIKKY SWAP KIT, PAID JUST UNDER $2000:
Custom oil pan, steel driveshaft, poly mounts for engine and trans. Direct bolt in!
With a big ass v8 going in a tiny E30, I need to delete the brake booster and relocate the master cyl assembly.
This is where this bad boy comes in:
I'm sure I'm missing a lot of things. Ask me questions!
Also If you want to see more pics/videos of the E30, scroll through my instagram: salsaverde43
